The use of new construction materials, active cooling and heating systems, and rising global temperatures are surprisingly harming our environment and are contributing to pollution and the depletion of the ozone layer. The study focuses on several thermal comfort strategies for residential building designs and passive design techniques used in Abbottabad, Pakistan,traditional houses. The research also offers a descriptive examination of a traditional and a modern built house, highlighting the problems caused by the absence of conventional passive design elements in the latter. The research comes to a conclusion and suggests environmental protection measures that modern homes should use in the future.

The current study was carried out on framing the ongoing debate on the inter-relationship which exists between social media and traditional media news coverages. Its particular focus is to analyze how both mediums focus on their topic selection when it comes to prioritizing an issue to be presented at the top. By employing the content analysis technique of the Facebook posts and newspaper articles the study tried to sort out to what extent differences exist in traditional media and social media coverage with respect to the selection of the topic in Pakistan. The researchers used Chi-square tests to weigh up the use of alternative media and the frame selection of social media in the selected timeline. The study concluded that social media and traditional media react differently when covering social issues. Social media showed better interaction patterns on grass root issues whereas traditional media focused more on covering political issues.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and student satisfaction of online learning platforms in comparison to traditional classroom settings. A sample of 500 university students was surveyed to gather data on their experiences and perceptions of both learning modes. The study employed a quantitative data collection method. The questionnaires utilized Likert-scale items to measure satisfaction levels and effectiveness ratings. The statistics showed how online learning platforms compare to traditional classrooms in effectiveness and student satisfaction. Students were largely satisfied with both learning styles, with online learning platforms somewhat higher in satisfaction. The study also found that online learning platform accessibility, schedule flexibility, and multimedia resources affect student happiness. Regarding effectiveness, both online learning platforms and traditional classroom settings were perceived as effective by the majority of students. The findings can inform educational institutions and policymakers in their decision-making processes and help improve the design and implementation of online learning platforms.

Sustainable architecture faces challenges in cold climates, where traditional houses are constructed using wood logs, and stone. These materials provide insulation but are unsustainable due to deforestation. Contemporary homes, though widespread, have low insulation, requiring more energy. This research proposes a development model employing environmentally friendly materials and techniques for enhanced thermal performance. It compares conventional, modern, and proposed houses and concludes that plastic bricks, although costly when compared to concrete, offer superior insulation and sustainability. The research recommends utilizing fiber cement boards and energy-efficient systems. It recommends the use of plastic bricks to reduce waste. Combining traditional and modern construction techniques is recommended. Institutional support for green buildings is required. The research recommends the integration of conventional knowledge with the usage of modern materials to design energy-efficient dwellings under extreme climates. Future studies may include better insulation, renewable energy, and the socioeconomic effect of sustainable architecture.
